    Here we go again, the mantra of washing laundry in cold water

    Eddie After reading that I’m glad I never had one! We kind of do the same thing but I just have one big old sink (reason for the dishpan) Dinner clean up is shared. When cooking I have dishpan filled with “hot” sudsy water and clean as I go. That way there’s not much to do after dinner. I...

    Here we go again, the mantra of washing laundry in cold water

    Hi Eddie That’s what I get for assuming I was alone with my dishpan! I’ve never had a DW so I don’t know anything else But I’ve not heard of someone having a DW that gave it up? Prey tell?

    Here we go again, the mantra of washing laundry in cold water

    Nasty Maybe I’m the only one in the free work that still hand washes dishes using a dishpan, but can you imagine what the dishpan would look like if one only used cold water? Top or front loader washing machines are going to be gunked up with pure nastiness with constant use of cold water...

    Really want a vintage gas range but afraid....

    Hi I’ve been cooking on this 1919 gas stove for 30 years All burners and oven half to be match lit, as there are no standing pilot lights. No gage on oven to set oven temp. It works just fine, has never leaked. There’s a 88 year old gas floor furnace in a hallway (not far from the stove)...

    Kenmore dryer heater

    I’ve seen worse than that amount of lint with a dryer that was still heating. But still nice to get all that out. Best to use a multimeter to test things out before replacing parts or even plugging into your outlet. If you take the cabinet apart and take out the drum, your app to find lots of...

    Borax! Who’s still using ?

    Hi Egress To answer your question “what does it do” It kind of dose what it says it will do on the box. It’s a laundry booster.. in that it is supposed to boost the effectiveness of the detergent you using, making it sometimes possible to use a little less detergent. If using a liquid...

    Borax! Who’s still using ?

    I was using a mild liquid liquid detergent for something the other day.. and found myself jiggling out a little borax to boost. Is anyone else besides me still using it on or for any particular purpose? ( I usually pre dissolve in hot water before adding to machine)

    This Weekend’s Dessert

    Store bought crusts I’ve used one from Trader Joe’s that was made with butter and one from Whole Foods that used organic palm oil (I think) Both were way better that the normal store bought. However none were better than homemade. The best one I made from scratch (flaky and flavorful) was...

    Why no fabric softener????

    My guess with bathmats might be... that fabric softener would hinder the mats ability to absorb water?
